      Pros

      You do RG146. You can start between 730 and 9am.

      Cons

      Poor leadership team throughout business as there's blatant in-fighting. Poor staff retention (about 15 people left in administration in 2016 alone). Poor salary in admin (less than $60k salary package) Poor career development. Roles tend to go to persons who've worked in the role on secondment. These individuals are cherrypicked, and advertising the role at all is simply out of obligation. They do not care for the wellbeing of staff. They're chronically under-resourced.
